Setting File Permissions for ASP.NET in Firefox -- david --


Hello to all,

This is a strange error is baffling me. I have created a form that submits some text with an optional photo when the user clicks on submit. It writes the text to a seperate text file and stores the photo in an images folder. It works flawlessly in IE, I had to set folder read/write access permissions for the user accounts but thats about it.
However, when I run the same form in Firefox I get an error that says
"Access to the Path "C:\\images" is denied. Now Ive given access to just about every account (this is a private test server and cant be accessed outside of my network so whatever permissions are needed can be found first and tested) that I can think of and am short of giving the kitchen sink access to this folder. Does Firefox use a different group or user account when it accesses the form or is it just some really random error that I am unfortunate to behold?

Thanks in advance for the help.

If I were troubleshooting this, the next thing I would do is change the src of the img to something other than C:\\images. It may be a security issue of the file:// option. Are you using file:// for your src or just src="c:\folder\images\image.jpg"?

I am assuming that because you are attempting to be cross browser compatible that the site is somewhat public and should have standard web server URI's.
